lawdog, I have a P-51D in paint right now. Not NMF but instead it's camouflaged. I'm using stencils for the national insignia a friend made on his Cricket machine. I like painting on the insignia much better that using decals. Since you use Montex masks, how do you keep from getting the thin edge of white around the insignia after you spray the blue? I've sprayed on the insignia on three models and this has been an issue on each one. Just curious to know how you get around this.

 

On this one I just made sure the blue completely covered the white, paying special attention to the outside edges. I use Tamiya paint cut with alcohol so it dries very fast.

Suberb as usual.

Just this month again looking around the modeling forums as I've been preoccupied for a while with other things. Great to know the quality building continues on this site with fine modeling skills on display such as those you possess Joe. It's always a delight to view your work.
